An Experiment in Writing – Part 29: Character via Exposition

Continuing with the theme of these experiments are for my benefit and it’s great if you also benefit, and I’m doing them really to remind/teach myself how to write better.

Experiment 14: Exposition via Character Revelation via Deep POV is the mirror to this one.

 
Think I’m onto something? Take a class with me or schedule a critique of your work.
Think I’m an idiot? Let me know in a comment.
Either way, we’ll both learn something.

Get a copy of Empty Sky and follow along.

Get copies of my books because it’s a nice thing to do, you care, you can follow along, and I need the money.
